1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an outlet of a spigot, and more particularly to an outlet of a spigot that can provide a preferred cleaning effect.
2. Description of Related Art
A conventional spigot is mounted on a washbasin to spray water out from an outlet to allow a user to washing hands or objects.
The shape of the outlet of the conventional spigot may be circular or flat, so the water column sprayed out from the outlet is also circular or flat. However, the circular or flat water column cannot meet the requirement of washing a long object, such as hands and may decrease washing efficiency. In addition, the water column may spray everywhere when the water pressure is increased and this wastes water.
The invention provides an outlet of a spigot that mitigates or obviates the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide an outlet of a spigot that can provide a preferred cleaning effect.
The outlet of a spigot in accordance with the present invention has a bottom seat, a neck, a head and a flow passage. The bottom seat has a flat bottom face. The neck is curvedly formed on and protrudes upward from the bottom seat. The head is formed on and protrudes forward from the neck and has a front side. The flow passage is formed in the outlet between the bottom seat, the neck and the head and has an inlet hole and an outlet hole. The inlet hole is formed through the bottom face of the bottom seat and communicates with the flow passage. The outlet hole is formed through the front side of the head and communicates with the flow passage and has a width and a length. The length of the outlet hole is wider than the width of the outlet hole.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
With reference to
The bottom seat (11) may be quadrate, is formed on the bottom of the outlet (10) and has a flat bottom face with four sides. The neck (12) is curvedly formed on and protrudes upward from the bottom seat (11) and has a top face, two sidewalls and a bottom face. The top face is formed on and protrudes from one of the sides of the flat bottom face of the bottom seat (11). The sidewalls are respectively formed on and protrude from two of the sides of the flat bottom face of the bottom seat (11), are formed with the top face of the neck (12) and face to each other. The bottom face is formed on and protrudes from the other side of the flat bottom face of the bottom seat (11), is formed with the sidewalls of the neck (12) and is opposite to the top face of the neck (12). The head (13) is formed on and protrudes forward from the neck (12) and has a front side formed with the top face, the sidewalls and the bottom face of the neck (12).
The flow passage (14) is formed in the outlet (10) between the bottom seat (11), the neck (12) and the head (13) and has at least one inlet hole (141) and an outlet hole (142, 142A, 142B). The inlet hole (141) is formed through the bottom face of the bottom seat (11) and communicates with the flow passage (14).
